Maybe Trump got tired of Elon calling the shots and did all this just to show him who's boss?
It's just that with him, the stupidest reason is usually also correct.

The next generation of scientists and specialists are no longer being trained and the talent we already had has been fired, or are moving to jobs in countries where an undereducated minority isn't threatening and demeaning them becuase they heard something on a podcast once.

This letter is brilliant. PLEASE read.
I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.
My Open Letter to Elon Musk
From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

But this is not what they're doing. They're gutting the government. Stripping it, incapacitating it and selling it for parts.
In Elon, they found the only guy full of shit enough to out-Trump Trump, so while Trump sits around like a neutered greyhound, Elon runs around like he's all-powerful, not

the anti-DEI right are really hiding behind the acronym becuase it is easier to get the low-information electorate behind cancelling something when they are not really certain what it means. We need to be calling it out at every opportunity. Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.

Elon moves as though he is all-powerful. In reality, he is a pawn. THEIR pawn. The guy they will blame once social security and medicare is cut aand the government collapses. They've been trying to do it for decaades. Now they have a power-hungry patsy to do their bidding. "ELON did it, not us!"
The newly created vacancies in the DOJ and at the FBI will be quickly filed by people who will no longer simply look the other way but will be eager to help Musk accomplish his goals. The threat to those trying to resist these efforts or hold them accountable will grow over time.

Vance's speech: "It was not just a collection of cheap shots in a culture war, while a real, life-and-death military war was largely ignored. It was a call to arms for the populist right to be able to seize power in Europe, and a promise that the “new sheriff in town” would help them to do so."

Republicans have been trying to get rid of Social Security and Medicare/caid for decades, but it’s political suicide.
Elon is the ultimate patsy.
Give him all this perceived power through fake departments and fake mandates and have him make all the cuts they’re too scared to make, then blame him.
